Hypnosis

Hypnosis is one of the techniques that you can use to achieve your goals—personal, financial and artistic. Many people have questions about what hypnosis is—and what happens when a person is in a hypnotic state. But it is really quite simple. Hypnosis is a state of focused concentration, of the sort many of us experience every day.

When you are relaxed and your concentration is so intense that you are not distracted by outside noises or other stimuli, you are in a light state of hypnosis. All hypnosis is really self-hypnosis in that you are completely in control. Most of us enter hypnotic states every day—when we drive the freeway and suddenly realize we are almost home without remembering how we got there or when we are totally absorbed in a book or project.

The goal of hypnosis, as well as meditation, is to access the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind functions at a level deeper than our usual level of awareness. We can experience moments of intuition, wisdom and creativity when the information from the subconscious mind flashes into our conscious awareness. Hypnosis accesses the wisdom of the subconscious is a focused way in order to achieve healing, vision, and wisdom.

In your first session (about one and half hours), we go over what you can expect to experience in hypnotherapy and we will talk about your session goals. Then you are gently led into a state of relaxed and comfortable concentration. Most people describe the experience as a mini-vacation which has profound and lasting results in their daily lives.
